Salic

I’m Salic, and this is my handler page. I work here with S086: Constance Blanchet and my kids, S023: John Davis and S003: Lara Bullock (adopted from Slam). Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I’ve learned after 21 versions – you never know WHAT is gonna come through that next post.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Tortorelli The Wise?

I thought not. It's not a story the Argentineans would tell you. It's a Uruguayan legend. Darth Tortorelli was a Dark Politician of Uruguay, so powerful and so wise he could use his political clout to name his wife his running mate, despite the accusations of nepotism…

He had such a knowledge of politics that he could even keep the ones he cared about from inconvenience. The dark side of politics is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… he learned how to make a road from Montevideo to Rivera that went downhill both ways so vehicles could save fuel.

He had the power to declare that each working day in Uruguay would only be 15 minutes long. He had the power to place free milk taps on every street corner. He had the power to grant every 18 year old in the country a job. He even had the power to cut the prices of wine, sugar, and cheese by half.

The only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, the people of Uruguay only cast 55 votes in his favor, blocking him from true power forever. Ironic. He could give others true power but not himself.

"I AM NOT CRAZY! I am not crazy. I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 778, one after 777, as if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just... I just couldn't prove it! H-He covered his tracks, he got that idiot, Yes Man, to lie for him-"

"Mr. House, please, you don't have to-"

"You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse! That democratization? Are you telling me that a man just happens to vote like that? No! He orchestrated it! The Courier! He failed to deliver the Platinum Chip! I saved him! I shouldn't have. I took him into my own casino! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change. Ever since 2281, always the same. Couldn't keep his hands out of the cap stash. But not our Courier, couldn't be the precious Courier! Robbing them blind! And HE gets be the leader of Vegas? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you, you have to stop him, you..."

My name is Mikhail Matkovksy. I live at 308 Pravda Lane, Magadan, Magadan Oblast, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead, murdered by my brother-in-law Nikolay Petlin. Nikolay has been building a meth empire for over a year now and using me as his chemist. Shortly after my 50th birthday, Nikolay came to me with a rather, shocking proposition. He asked that I use my chemistry knowledge to cook methamphetamine, which he would then sell using his connections in the drug world. Connections that he made through his career with the DEA. I was... astounded, I... I always thought that Nikolay was a very moral man and I was... thrown, confused, but I was also particularly vulnerable at the time, something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. Nikolay took me on a ride along, and showed me just how much money even a small meth operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin so I agreed. Every day, I think back at that moment with regret. I quickly realized that I was in way over my head, and Nikolay had a partner, a man named Mitchell WerBell, a businessman. Nikolay essentially sold me into servitude to this man, and when I tried to quit, WerBell threatened my family. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, Nikolay and WerBell had a falling out. From what I can gather, Nikolay was always pushing for a greater share of the business, to which WerBell flatly refused to give him, and things escalated. WerBell was able to arrange, uh I guess I guess you call it a "hit" on my brother-in-law, and failed, but Nikolay was seriously injured, and I wound up paying his medical bills which amounted to a little over $177,000. Upon recovery, Nikolay was bent on revenge, working with a man named Robert Francis Kennedy, he plotted to kill WerBell, and did so. In fact, the bomb that he used was built by me, and he gave me no option in it. I wanted to go to the police, but I was frightened. Nikolay had risen in the ranks to become the head of the Magadan DEA, and about that time, to keep me in line, he took my children from me. For 3 months he kept them. My wife, who up until that point, had no idea of my criminal activities, was horrified to learn what I had done, why Nikolay had taken our children. We were scared. I was in Hell, I hated myself for what I had brought upon my family. Recently, I tried once again to quit, to end this nightmare, and in response, he gave me this. I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that Nikolay will kill me, or worse, hurt my family. I... All I could think to do was to make this video in hope that the world will finally see this man, for what he really is.
